The Department of Health has commissioned Skills for Care to support the delivery of a national learning and development programme for the adult social care workforce supporting people with dementia.
They will make £2.4 million available to employers through the Workforce Development Dementia Fund to support the completion of relevant accredited qualifications by those members of the workforce who support people with dementia.
This new funding is open to all adult social care employers, including local voluntary and community organisations who support people with dementia, whether this is in the early stages of the illness following diagnosis, or at a later stage.
